*DON'T DESCRIBE YOUR VIDEOS AS 'NINETEENTH CENTURY'. THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE IN THE 1940'S AND 1950'S ETC. THAT IS THE 20TH CENTURY. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE 21ST CENTURY. IF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT VIDEOS OF HACKS FROM THE 1850'S, THEN YOU COULD SAY 'NINETEENTH CENTURY'.*
I believe this was part of a longer military produced film series meant for the wives of military officers on bases (or they have another one similar to this, it's been a few years since I watched it). I'd like to see them take on modern apartment kitchen design, using modern options anyone can order online! That would be something.
@@justrosy5 Oh OK, thanks for the info.
Hey, do you happen to know anything about the source of this video? Or by any chance, the actress’ name? This is a little weird but she really looks a lot like me and I’m curious to know if there happened to be any clearer photos or videos of her - I’ve never found a doppelgänger before!
Unbelievably good
Here we think we're so modern, and this kitchen is 10x more practical than any I've ever had.
two lazy susan with tons of built in storages for potato, onion, salt, tea, flour....indeed more functional 1949 kitchen than my 2022 mid-century house
@@vhouse6520 what's a lazy susan? 🤭
@@litgamer6205 honey, a lazy susan is one of those wooden turntables used for an efficient starage for food and jars
Absolutely! I feel like nowadays, kitchens are made to be photographed in magazines and on Instagram, rather than to work efficiently...
@@sagessedantan thats actually true, we think of being innovative than being a practical these days...
This was a 1949 kitchen?! This is better than 2023 kitchens!
Deve ser de alto padrão
If you’re rich that’s untrue.
If you’re Low class then yes.
@@susanroche597 it doesn’t look so expensive, just very well planned.
I was thinking the same thing
No. The point is the layout.
Seller: What kind of kitchen do you want?
Customer: I want a practical kitchen like in 1949.
Anyone else wish that this was their kitchen? ❤
Yep
Yes
no
no. you really gonna let your flour and sugar sit there in that cupboard?
Yes, I want it and the dinner, too!
My grandma's house still has a working refrigerator from the 1950's... it actually has outlived her. This is obviously before planned obsolescence!
what happened too it now?
My sister has a 1948 Frigidaire in her basement. It’s from our parents and still works. The door gasket has been replaced numerous times and the motor redone at least three times, but it’s still in use!
@@mariekatherine5238that's great... Things made to be fixed, not made for the landfill. My microwave started acting funny after only 2 months of use. The cost to repair would be more than a new one. And fixing it alone risks death because of the materials inside. What a shame
Any fridge made before 1960 is actually more energy efficient than modern fridges. In the 60s they added things like self defrost, and other things.
I know a fridge from the 50’s still working
Why is this kitchen not a thing anymore?! It's absolutely brilliant and I need one❤❤❤
Twitter won't agree and will be mad that a kitchen area designed specifically for women is something to be offended about.
@@123evilwolf
And at the same things they are getting angry out everything that has not been designed for women in mind. 🤣
I think we've really lost a lot of common sense over the years. This was very modern at the time, and some of it wouldnt work (open bins with flour and sugar? Oh no!)
One thing I've learned as I've grown older - I love having a kitchen that's separate from the living space, I see why people used to love it then too :)
Me too !!
It was Advancement in knowledge of food safety and cost of repair of Sliders and castors etc.
However, an invisible cook top is available if you got the Moucha money
What i love about those old media (movies / music / radio) is how soft spoken and well articulated the people were.
No slurring of words, fast paced rapid fire sentences or emotional outbursts.
Well. There's the pre-code movie era.
Great comment. I agree.
PS: It’s film, not video. 😊
What's the difference?@@ReportsOnChina
❤ true
I'm gobsmacked by how wonderful this kitchen is, despite seeming small. It's better than any kitchen in any rental flat I've ever had, or seen.
WHY did we stop designing kitchens like this?? It's fabulous!
Too expensive for contractors. They go with the cheapest available, shrink the rooms, rise rent cost.
All I see is flour and sugar out in the open, welcoming weevils and bugs. Containers exist for a reason!
@@themetalchica No, they exist because people don't maintain their exteriors and seal them up yearly like they used to, and let weevils and bugs get into their kitchens.
@@neoasura No? Huh. That's sweet. Nice of you to drop in and shower us with your loveliness and superfluous, nonsensical information. Don't let the bedbugs bite!
@@neoasura I grew up in a house similar to this in Wisconsin, years before you were an idea of an idea. The bugs were a huge issue, as were the smaller parts the broke all the time, esp w 2 kids in the house, opening and slamming doors, drawers, and container shelves. Casters broke, or became unaligned, one drawer of sugar fell out and spilled all over the then 1970s puke green carpet in the kitchen, bc we carpeted kitchens back then. You're about 12 in grown up years. Tupperware was invented for a reason.
When we moved into our first home (1950's track home) that same electric stove was sitting in the garage covered by a sheet. We cleaned it up, looked good as new and worked perfectly. We used it for the years we lived there. When we sold the house the couple moving in asked to buy it but we just let them have it. We became good friends and 20 years later they still have the stove. Works perfectly. Talk about quality.
I've been told by repairmen of the day that they built appliances to last a life time. Every component was made to be replaced or repaired so the whole unit didn't need to go into the dump. We Americans used to take pride in long-lasting and reliable products. Alas. That's all over now.
After my parents passed away I took over their 1950s house (I took it over in 1998 when mom died) and the house still had the original stove (the one pictured in this video, minus the boiling pot inset), I just replaced the stove in 2016 when I could no longer get the oven heating element anymore. I'd likely still have the stove if I could have replaced that heating element, it was a damn good stove that raised a family of 8 then a family of 5, two generations.
Because everything is computerized now and malfunctions easily. Either that or it's made in China.
I have a Samsung stove and above counter microwave that was purchased July 2020. The digital numbers on the stove are going haywire. Flashing and flickering and just noticed this week parts of the numbers on the microwave have gone out.
Back then is when good quality products were made meant to last a life time,might i add simple and easy as well.Nowadys almost everything is computerized you have to type in your setting on a little keyboard,whereas back then you just turned the knob and you were ready to cook,and don't even get me started on the instruction manuals for these new stoves might as well be written in greek.
Up until they passed just a few years ago... my grandparents had almost the exact same layout kitchen. They had refused to upgrade their house since the 40's as they were comfortable and loved they way everything worked.
Why mess with perfection? They made the right choice to keep it this way
My wife just watched this and now she wants our kitchen remodeled to be just like this one. Well, there goes my overtime pay for the year, sheesh.
😊
You'll probably find it was money well invested if she's the main cook
Happy cooks are a very good thing
The most interesting thing about this is the speed at which she is working. I’d kill to be that chilled out!
lol
Barbiturates were very easily available in that time period, and many women were given them to keep them complacent. They even had a catchy little name: Mother's Little Helper.
Calm mind.--My Mom was like this, until 1968 when things really shifted. --It is a marvelous kitchen.
Do you see, at 6:45, the way the pan of potatoes is sitting right inside the range?
That was a common feature of the first couple decades of electric stoves that was called a "Deep Well Cooker"...it was literally a pot-shaped well sunken into the rangetop, with thickly insulated walls, and the heating coil at the bottom,
And came with a covered pot that fit perfectly into it, with little raised handles.
Some conpanies offered extra pots with metal dividers, meant to hold more than one kind of vegetable, etc.
The Deep Well had multiple purposes: you could use it for deep frying or boiling, and it was more secure than having a pan sitting on top of the range.... No pan handles sticking off the side, and it couldn't accidentally be knocked over! Helpful for the busy mother of young children.
It was also meant to be more efficient: you could set it on very low and use it like a crockpot, or set it on high for rapid cooking.
Last but nor least, because it was so well insulated, it was perfect for preparing meals in summertime without heating your whole kitchen too much.
(Considering this was when very few homes had any kind of air conditioning, that would have been a boon, and even now, would save a lot of energy)
You could have a cut of meat and veggies packed in there, cook everything up on low heat, and then,
after dishing the meal out onto your servingware, fill the pot with cold water to absorb the heat from the pan.
Unfortunately, if stuff spilled, they xoyuld be a bit difficult to clean from what I understand, and the very large families of the 50s and 60s often meant people would rather have another coil because rheu were making big portions of everything.
They're a pretty cool historical detail, though. When growing up, I partly learned to cook from a very old paperback cookbook for housewives using "the new electric kitchen!" and they explained it, and had whole meal plans that incorporated it and showed you how to use it in various ways.
THANK YOU for this!! 😊😊😊
@@TheFunctionalForce You're super welcome!
When I was a young teen cooking from very old cookbooks, I found them fascinating so I did some research. In a way, they had some of the same functions as an instant pot.
Thank you for the information. I would still love one!
We had a deep well at one time. It acted very much like a slow cooker (I'm ancient)
@@AutumnFalls89 Me too, honestly
My grandmother earned a home economics university diploma in the 1940s and her kitchen in the 1980s to 2000s still incorporated some of the space saving concepts in this video.
Which features from the video did she still use?
I think a kitchen like this would still work for today. Maybe a few tweaks here and there but it’s set up so well. I love it.
💫💫💫💫💯💯💯💯
Honestly the only tweak I think would be nice is the paper towel roll being somewhere outside of the cabinet (in the open). It'd make quickly cleaning up spills easier
If it had a dishwasher in it I would he in heaven!
OMG! I found my dream kitchen! With the exception of the paint job. The 1940s can keep that, but I want this kitchen!!!!!😍
This was considered very modern at the time. Imagine, a phone in the kitchen! A refrigerator! A blender and a Mixer! Revolving kitchen cabinets! My grandmother didn't have this luxury. She used a very traditional kitchen burner using logs and she didn't have an icebox or even a phone.
Logs? 🤣
@@lemurianchick My nana also used logs and charcoals at the time. Not everyone used gas burner especially here in Oz.
Gas burner and refrigerator were so expensive and luxurious back then.
I wonder the cost of the electricity in that house. The fridge itself would take a lot. This was very modern. My grandparents had charcoals and woods too to cook, and cleaning the dishes were not easy.
My gradma still use the traditional kitchen till the 90s. I used to help her lit the fire. Time consuming but the food was good. We did bought her stove but she usually prefers that.
Wow! I would love a kitchen like this with all the built-ins. What we have lost 60+ years!
Era Buit ins are bug magnets.. But GOOGLE built ins.. They do so many even Herb growing cabinet
@@AMPProf Maintain your house properly and you won't have bugs in it.
Built ins for airtight storage containers would be amazing.
And @ neoasura sometimes you can do so and still get infestations. Partner and I kept our own place clean, neighbors deserted their place furniture and food included and caused our previously fine apartment to have roaches that came through wall outlets/air vents/baseboards ect. It was horrific and I'm glad to be out of there.
The woman's dress reminds me my grandma used to wear dresses like that until her very last day of life. Beautiful, I miss you so much, I am sorry for everything I've done wrong...
My grandma moved a little quicker than the woman in the add She baked, canned, and cooked great meals. She was a full time nurse and kept what we called borders. I couldn't walk in her shoes for one day. She had a pink kitchen much like this one, always so clean. My grandma, my hero. Love to all the ladies that didn't have today's luxuries and still spoiled us. Thank you for posting.
Pretty futuristic for 1949. Especially with the vegetable storage areas.
This is slightly before the surge in popularity of canned and frozen vegetables. That's why I think a lot of these ideas never caught on - not because they were bad ideas, they were great ideas, but because suddenly it became modern and space-age and 'healthy' to eat processed foods rather than cook from scratch.
Seeing this in color really makes it seems like this wasn’t that long ago.
Me too.
It really wasn't that long ago... only like 73 years. It just feels like it was because we starting to lose those people in our lives connected to it. But yes, this is Vintage so it's still Modern compared to say a Dinosaur.
We still got Kitchen Aids that look like that Today.
@@katiearbuckle9017 "starting to loose those people"? You are being way too optimistic my friend. Everyone who was adult at that time is now gone.
This is the most practical design i ever have seen
The 40s/50s technology and architecture/facilities were on another level…
🇨🇦 why can’t we have kitchens like this in our homes today? I would love a kitchen like this!
because women decided they wanted to slave for the man instead of serve their families
Потому что сейчас другие цели!))
Раньше думали о людях, удобстве, а сейчас каждый хочет сделать что-то как можно дешевле, а продать как можно дороже!
Maybe because nowdays women have not so much time to do things so quietly....
pantry moths.
@@JessicaVanderhoff omg Bugs are born out of dust balls we can never see
I bet that refrigerator still functions as well as it did 70 years ago lol
And looks very cool for 1949! Only in the 2000s did we switch from a cube-like one to one of a new design like the one in this video has!
One of my brothers has our parents 50s refrigerator in his basement chilling beer.
I have an EASY brand clothes washer from the 1920s.
Yup, I actually use it.
I have a 1939 electric crown stove top and oven, the oven is great for baking.
I feel like if i went back in time it would feel like i was in the future. Their organization skills is next level.
We've lost organisation skills because we rely on technology for everything now. I've seen the decline over my lifetime.
😅 is it weird that this made me happy? I want a kitchen like that!!
I love the innocent evolution of the kitchen... but the ants, insects and roaches had a field day accessing the sugar, flour and vegetables. But needless to say it was well thought of back in the days and that is honestly how kitchens evolved. Love the quality of the video.. I really appreciate the time spent in restoring and sharing this video. Thanks for posting
🪳🪳🪳
The insects would only be an issue in some areas of the country. Roaches shouldn’t be a problem anywhere if you clean your kitchen.
@ FirstNameLastName-wt5to Lol People who live in the Southern US know that no matter how clean your kitchen is, Palmetto Bugs aka giant roaches that refuse to die will find their way in.
I can relate to the bug concern living in central Florida due to tropical weather being constant. No matter how clean you keep your house it's something you have to always be diligent about. But with today's technology applied to storage combined with this kitchen design would be my dream kitchen! I love how the stove has a bin for steaming veggies!
@@lakeireland Palmetto bugs are only a problem if you have moisture problems in your home.
I've always wished to be able to visit and see late 40's and 50's America. Everything looks so familiar yet so weird at the same time, kinda like a liminal space. Hope someone makes a timemachine without timeline altering consequence lol.
Great video!
Cringe bro, cringe.
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 what
Film making is the closest thing to a time machine we have. You can see them without altering their timeline.
@@starshollowct Smh! Nvm
It looks weird because adults were in charge and society worked as it should.
I want this kitchen so badly. I was born in 1949. That man looks like my Daddy. ❤❤❤
This is exactly the kind of kitchen that I want 💯 Props to the designers, back then. It still looks contemporary... So chic and practical!
I would take those kitchen hacks and innovations over all the "smart this" and "bluetooth that" which are the supposed kitchen improvements of today!
What we want is the layout and space to do what needs doing. I don't need a refrigerator that can order my groceries or a wireless connection to turn on the oven (or whatever). I want usable counter and shelf space.
To be honest, I would love to have such a kitchen in 2022
in 1949 they had better kitchens than I have in 2024
The kid sitting on the telephone book at the end was most memorable for me 😂 I used to have sit on 2 of them
And she works so calmly and quietly too.
I wish they still made kitchens like this!!
Очень удобная кухня, эти шкафчики так практичны.
Чем больше я смотрю, тем больше поражаюсь, насколько гениальная кухня!!
Один фрагмент шокирует... Посуда моется с добавлением химикатов, но в последствии совсем не ополаскивается.
@@user-te9zz5gx5eвполне возможно что сначала мыли в мыльной воде, убирали на сушилку, а потом, когда все помыто, ополаскивали водой. Никто не мыл посуду под проточной водой как в ссср, потому что за воду платили
@@sugarfree4118 однако, когда она чистит картошку в специальное отверстие у неё в это время в раковине льётся вода (4:33). Меня это удивило.
If I ever buy a house I need a slightly modernized kitchen based on this design!
This would literally be my dream kitchen!!
For everyone worried about rinsing the dishes....it wasn't shown, but they were rinsed. The narrator said they were scalded and dried. That is when boiling water is poured over them, both rinsing them and sanitizing them. Some people chose to let them air dry, some would dry them with a clean towel.
I caught that as well! I kept wondering if she was going to rinse them...and then they said she did!!!
What a pain in the ass that must have been. So she had to have a pot of boiling water on the stove to pour over the dishes in the rack... splashing scalding water everywhere and probably had to do the dishes in batches. No wonder they didn't film that scene.
@@jadedone6900 Amen!!🤣
Regardless, beautiful kitchen in its day and today as well
Прошло почти 75 лет, а ничего лучше ещё не придумали! Идеальная кухня! Просто невероятно, что это 1949 год! Я родилась в 1977 году в Москве, домашний телефон и обычный миксер у нас появились, когда я уже училась в школе!
Всё новое, это хорошо забытое старое.
Отличная кухня! Всё продумано. Сейчас есть все эти придумки, но не в одеой кухне сразу.
One of the reasons why modern kitchens are so different than this is because far less scratch cooking is done - now we use a lot of semi prepared foods that mostly require a little mixing and maybe 15-20 minutes or less of heating.
A lot of people no longer have the time to properly cook. Maybe on the weekend, but who wants to spend their days off preparing meals for the week?
It's rather a shame, too. For medical reasons, I have to do my own food prep and cooking, and there are some nifty recipes available. Using prepackaged stuff means missing out on unique, tasty meals.
Why did we stop doing this? I am going to reorganize my kitchen. I would keep some of that stuff in sealed bags but the location and storage ideas are great.
They need to bring these cabinets back...this is more modern than our kitchens today!!
You could probably hire someone to modify your existing cabinets. That 'filing' system works a lot better than stacking pans and serving dishes.
@@julietfischer5056 No doubt, but would cost a fortune today!!
@@janetbrowning9089- Definitely pricey.
@@julietfischer5056 ♥
I can’t believe that it was more than 70 years ago, movements are so slow, but my grandmother couldn’t even dream about such comforting.
I WANT THIS!!! if I had a house, I want extra money just too have a redue kitchen to be as practical as this!
The kitchen my family had in the 90's WASN'T this organized. This one is very well designed.
信じられないくらい機能的なキッチン✨👏🏻✨
これ今でも全然通用するわ♪
Wow~! I wish my kitchen was as funcitonal as this one!
I recognize nearly all those appliances: the Mixmaster, the flour sifter even the wooden rolling pin. Am still in the house built by my parents in 1950. Yes, we even had same table and chairs.
Thanks for showing this.
Cool!
Good old beautiful times...
I have watched this before. I love this kitchen.
My mind is blown every 20 seconds watching this!!! Things just made sense and were so focused on flow and functionality.
I actually just bought myself a barstool for the kitchen because back pain has caused me to avoid standing at the counter to prepare meals for any reasonable length of time. I thought it was such a wacky idea because I never see someone sitting to do kitchen tasks until this video 😂
1949 was still known as the 20th Century, not the19th; I was born in 1949 and looking at this kitchen, it was much better equipped than my mother's or my Grandma's kitchen. I was born in the UK and we didn't own a refrigerator, only a pantry to keep food cold. We never came down with food poisoning. My mother bought produce daily so it was always fresh, and we didn't have a telephone in the house, nor did we have a car. We travelled everywhere by bus or tram and had a happy life.
Some things in this video made me laugh because it’s so 20th century to say certain things.
But the main aspect of the video was jaw dropping. The compact and rotating shelves make so much sense. There’s a formula and strategy to everything, I love it! Definitely have me some ideas for my kitchen!
We still have lazy Susan's now. The worst thing about the lazy susan is that they're difficult to clean underneath the shelves and the walls of the unit.
I want that kitchen!!! The storage and cabinetry are amazing. The corner turn cabinets, and the pull down bins especially.
This kitchen design is far better design than a modern kitchen. Why modern kitchens don't have an option to have these features. I think they are brilliant.
The garbage hatch is heavenly 😍
The ring of that telephone reminds me of my beloved grandma. She’s been gone a long time now. She also had that same yellow dinette set. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
We need to bring some of this back.
when the kitchen from 1949 looks cooler than many modern ones 😂😂😂
Wow. Back when our appliances actually outlived us.
У меня в 2023 году нет такой крутейшей кухни! Суперская!🔥🔥🔥🔥😮😮😮😮
Wow, better then the kitchen nowadays! I really miss the second sink
This is my first time i saw this video. The organization in the kitchen is very clearly, easy to see and choose the ingredients to cook. 1949 that the US was like this. Countries in Europe are very developed compared to our Asian countries. Someday, I will arrive to U.S and learn more knowledge and also speak English too much to get better.
As I remembered my grandmother’s kitchen was a perfect triangle in it. It was style in the late 60’s before I was born. She had counter space to work with near her stove. The sink was under a window on one wall and the fridge that was another wall. She had 2 door ways in the kitchen. 1 towards the dining room and the other is to the outside and the basement. Her house was built in the 1930’s. It was a small house. She did kept it tidy.
Triangle kitchen??!!
Triangle kitchen refers to the design triangle of sink fridge stove placement.
How creative they are with storage behind sink. As a person who doesn't like to show washing supplies this is awesome.
I want kitchen like this! 😍 so practical for someone who cooks every day.
I have my husband's greatgrandmothers cubbord like this lady is using with the flour & sugar bin. I LOVE IT!!!!
I cannot count the number of times my jaw dropped at the so simple yet genius shortcut designs of this kitchen!
This is what home economics science was all about. If I had a kitchen like this, I might actually learn to cook --- & like it! Every aspect is pure genius! 👏
All those very convenient and organized elements make it look easy & even relaxing!
I love a 1949 kitchen in a modern look this is a well organize kitchen.
I just love this kitchen! It is perfect! ❤ Whatever "modern" we have today, it has been already invented.
This kitchen is genius! I love the lazy Susan style cupboards.
Beautiful color work. Really enjoyed this! I think I discovered this video 5 o4 6 years ago. As a side note: at one time, in the early through mid-century, during the height of the "home economics" era kitchen science was just that - kitchen science. It was a true scientific study. The principles outlined in this video are still useful and sensible today. But we have been so overloaded with corporate advertising constantly insisting that we need to drop $70,000 or $100,000 grand every 3-5 years on a gut job and remodel so our kitchen is "in fashion." I'd take this kitchen any day over a magazine kitchen - as much as I love some of them.
This looks like it was filmed in colour to me, not colorized. Color film was not uncommon in 1949.
@@caitlinhickie2334 Yes, I agree. All the other versions I've seen on UA-cam were in color. But this looks the best of any I've seen. There was a lot of other clean up done on this one as well.
While I love the layout and the structure of the cabinets and appliances, I would do different colors and of course a different counter top material. I LOVE the hole in the counter for food scraps!!
@@SpotTheBorgCatI like the lazy Susan cupboards and the little drop-leaf table on casters.
I recognize that voice. she played Miss ‘Stonewall” Jackson in ‘Cover Girl”
Шикарная кухня! Мечта!
Ahh what a time to be alive! That kitchen is organized very well.
Wow! What a great kitchen!!
Everything was so much better organized and convenient than what's offered today. Now it seems like everyone is more concerned with how modern it looks than how practical it is. The only problem with those great cabinets back then was that they would easily rust. But today, we could fix that issue. Bring those wonderful kitchens back! 😅
70 anos atrás e eles tinham uma cozinha muito mais prática que a minha.
Sim, e a minha também, a América na década de 1950 era muito voltada para praticidade e organização.
So nice. My husband's Grandmother had a kitchen like that.
Absolutely every appliance in that kitchen was built to last a lifetime, unlike anything today
Man I love old school Americana
And I love old school Dutch.
Much better than most kitchens today.
I want that kitchen, what a clever set up
The only thing in this kitchen that would be concerning to me is the flour and sugar storage. They need to be in sealed bins perhaps inside the under-cupboard bins.. But otherwise, this kitchen design has a lot more than modern kitchens. They've thought of almost everything. 🥰
It depends on how much baking you are doing. If I buy in no bread for my family of four adults, and instead make loaf bread, sandwich buns, flatbreads for curry and gyro sandwiches, and tortillas for Tex-Mex meals, some sort of muffin or streudel for breakfasts, along with making a cake and a batch of cookies once a week, I'll go through ten pounds of flour in a week, easily. (We don't eat like that but then again we also don't walk everywhere either...but that was the way people ate back then.
@@AlexandraLynch1 Perhaps, but I'd still want sealed storage.
I like the idea. So, I built a shelf that angles out and inserted four store bought sealed square containers. Works great.
The sugar and flour were quickly used. The homemakers baked breads, biscuits, sweets which were superior to the commercially produced junk of our generation.
@@raffinataonline: And so you would use waxed paper and re-use aluminum foil, like my mother did.
Those drawers under the window are genius for apartment living, the whole kitchen is so practical.
Those kitchens were made to last for a long time. Our kitchen are made to replace every couple of years, and they do not over live the guarantee!
This is the kind of kitchen I need! So organized with all the built ins. Making good use of the whole space.
That little kid at the table at the end must be like 80 years old now!
The time that's always fascinated me is the late 1940s. Not 1950s. Not ww2. But 1946-1949. Because it's overlooked and so much was planted then of what came after.
Some great movies from then too. It was when (in the west) the old world became the modern.
Τhis video is a must watch for anyone planning to build/renovate a home!
Wish i had seen it before i made mine...
I'm only twenty yet I feel so envious of the kitchen, nothing needs an internet connection or software update just to cook some potatoes, it seems so wonderful
I wish that I had a kitchen like that. I have never had as nice a kitchen as this one in the video. The counter garbage hatch is brilliant and I like the sunken boiling water thing on the stove.
Definitely🎉
Better then the kitchen of today ?!❤❤❤
I like how much the narrator refers to this as work! These days house mothers are treated like non job having trash!
